In In shoulder training, press training always occupies a dominant position. Shoulder press can help you develop strong shoulder strength and muscle volume
And in press training, our most common tools are barbells and dumbbells. Barbells As the most classic training tool, dumbbells are an excellent choice not only in terms of load but also operation!
But sometimes you can try other equipment, which may bring a different experience to your muscles, such as kettlebells or the shoulder press using ropes that we are going to introduce today!
Advantages of using Cable for shoulder presses:
1. The free and flexible movement trajectory can well develop your movement control ability!
2. Better grip, using the cable (handle D) does not require you to hold bulky barbells and dumbbells!
The following is an action demonstration
1. In the center of the standing cable trainer, adjust the pulley to the lowest position
2. It is recommended to use standing or Sit without leaning on a chair so that your shoulders can move more flexibly
3. Choose a suitable weight, then hold the handle firmly and start pushing up to the top of your head. When you reach the top, let your arms stretch naturally. Straight and slightly closer while holding on to the handle, this will help your shoulder muscles tense up more!
3. Be careful when fallingSlow down and keep your forearm perpendicular to the ground at the lowest point of the movement. You don't have to drop it completely to the bottom. Just drop it until your upper arm is nearly parallel to the ground!
Training Tips:
You can choose heavy weights, but be aware that cable presses also require very strong control!
Other points are the same as the traditional shoulder press. When pressing up, be careful to avoid hyperextension of the lumbar spine. The shoulder joint should not be opened excessively back. Keep the forearm vertical to the ground and perform the pressing movement in the plane of the scapula. !
